Title: First South African Safari completed
Post by: washingtonmuley on August 21, 2018, 07:42:01 PM: My wife and I just returned from our first South African safari. We were hosted by iliwa Safaris on their 22000 Acre Farm. I was able to harvest 7 animals after changing my list of 4. I deleted the gemsbuck and added bushpig,2 impala and 2 springbuck for less money. So my harvest was bushpig,kudu,warthog, 2 impala and 2 springbuck.

We were there about two hours and were already planning our next trip. We made great friends while there and got some very nice trophies. Looks like you were in a game rich environment.

It looks pretty bad... hopefully they come to their senses.

Cape Town realy is something. Like San Francisco only cleaner. I did the shark cage trip when I was there. It was great!
